If you walked with her in Hyde Park now it was a bed of tulips, now a child in a perambulator, now some absurd little drama she made up on the spur of the moment. (Very likely, she would have talked to those lovers, if she had thought them unhappy.)
Если идти с ней по Гайд-Парку, она залюбуется клумбой с тюльпанами, умилится детской колясочкой и с ходу, из ничего, создаст потешную сценку (скорей всего, она завела б разговор с этой ссорящейся парочкой, если б решила, что им плохо).
